VILLIAM J. MCCANDLESS, OF HOMESTEAD, PENNSYLVANIA.

CURTAIN-POLE AND SHADE FIXTURE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 683,'700, dated October 1, 1901.

Application filed June 26,1901. Serial No. 66,097. (No model-l T0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IVILLIAM J. MCCAND- LESS, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Homestead, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Pole and Shade Fixtures, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in curtain pole and shade iixtures, and has for its object the provision of novel means whereby a combination-bracket of the above-described class may have a lateral adjustment, and also the provision of novel means whereby an inward and outward adjustment of the curtain-pole hanger is obtained.

The invention further aims to construct a device of the above-described class that will be extremely simple in construction, strong, durable, and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture; furthermore, one that will be highly efficient in its use.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, and specifically pointed out in the claim.

In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification,and wherein like numerals of reference indicate correspending parts.

The figure represents a perspective view of my improved curtain-pole and shade fixture, which consists of a base-plate l, having longitudinal slots 2 2 formed therein to receive set-screws 3 3, which will allow the lateral adjustment of the base-plate carrying both brackets.

rIhe reference-numeral et represents a cutaway portion on the lowerportion of the baseplate, which is turned outwardly at right angles, as shown at forming a shade-support.

The reference-numeral 6 indicates a bracket formed integral with the base-plate l, having formed therein a slot 7.

The referencemumeral 8 represents an outwardly-bent ear formed integral with the bracket, which has formed therein an aperture 9 to receive the extension-support 10 of the curtain-pole holder. This curtain-pole holder has formed on its forward end a hook portion 1l and on its rearward end a head 12, extending through the slot 7, which head rides upon the inner face of the bracket and allows the inward and outward adjustment of the curtain-pole holder. The rear end of this curtain-pole holder is bent at right angles to the body portion thereof and engages in the slot 7. The head 12, mounted on this right-angular end, is preferably of a circular form, such as a washer, and is perforated to receive the end, which is then enlarged, so as to prevent the washer or head from becoming` disengaged. It is obvious, however, that the head 12 may be made integral with the angular end, which in no wise would be a departure from the general spirit of the invention.

The many advantages obtained by the use of my improved device will be readily apparent from the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.

It will be noted that various changes may be made in the details of construction with` out departing from the general spirit of my invention.

Having fully described my invention, what l I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a curtain-pole and shade fixture, the combination of a base-plate having slots formed therein and a cut-away portion, an outwardly-bent shade-bracket, a curtain-pole bracket having formed therein a slot, an outwardly-bent apertured ear, an adjustable curtain-pole holder extending through said aperture, a head secured to the end of said curtain-pole holder extending through said slot of the bracket, all parts being arranged and operating substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM J. MCOANDLESS. IVitnesses:

JOHN NOLAND, E. E. POTTER.
